Rebekah Moan[email protected]Digital X-RayMore readers translates to more lung nodules detectedMonday, December 2 | 3:20 p.m.-3:30 p.m. | SSE22-03 | Room S403AUsing multiple readers to detect lung nodules in chest radiographs should be used as a measure for improving the performance of computer-aided detection, according to Dutch researchers.November 5, 2013PACS/VNAGrayscale monitors may improve image qualityMonday, December 2 | 12:15 p.m.-12:45 p.m. | LL-INS-MO5A | Lakeside Learning CenterIn this Monday presentation, researchers will discuss how adding a grayscale monitor may improve the precision and accuracy of technologists' assessment of image quality prior to submission for radiologist interpretation.November 5, 2013Digital X-RayCould digital chest tomosynthesis replace CT for lung cancer?Monday, December 2 | 11:10 a.m.-11:20 a.m. | SSC04-05 | Room S404ABItalian researchers have found that digital chest tomosynthesis is comparable to CT for detecting noncalcified lung nodules, and they will report their study findings in this scientific session.November 5, 2013BreastAdding digital tomo to mammography boosts cancer detection rateVIENNA - Adding digital breast tomosynthesis to digital mammography increased the breast cancer detection rate from 1.26% to 2.03%, in a study from Spain presented on Monday at ECR 2013.March 11, 2013ISStructured reports can improve quality and workflow efficiencyVIENNA - Harder, better, faster, stronger: It's not just a song, it could also be the mantra for radiologists as they try to improve workflow efficiency and quality. Enhancing radiology reports and becoming more familiar with dose management regulations and registries can help in this process.March 10, 2013MRIUtilizing MR for dense breasts saves biopsies, moneyVIENNA - Adding dense breasts as a new standard indication for MR mammography in cases with unclear findings could ward off approximately 88% of biopsies and end up saving insurance companies money, according to research presented on Sunday morning at ECR 2013.March 9, 2013BreastExcitement builds over digital breast tomosynthesisVIENNA - Will digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) replace mammography for breast cancer screening? The answer depends on how well the modality performs in some forthcoming clinical trials, according to two experts in Sunday's special focus session at ECR 2013.March 9, 2013UltrasoundIncluding menopause as factor aids breast US performanceVIENNA - Menopause has an important influence on breast elasticity as measured by elasticity parameters, according to study results presented this week at ECR 2013. Taking this factor into consideration may help improve the diagnostic performance of breast sonoelastography, the researchers found.March 8, 20132013Airport security scanners carry some radiation riskVIENNA - Airport security scanners are safe for individuals, but when their effects are considered collectively, there is still a risk of cancer developing due to the machines, ECR 2013 delegates learned at a standing-room-only session on Thursday afternoon.March 7, 2013Molecular ImagingEuropean experts urge caution on PET/MRI useVIENNA - "Hold your horses" was the main message regarding PET/MRI at Thursday's ECR 2013 opening press conference. People may want to quickly adopt the fairly new technique, but Dr. Heinz-Peter Schlemmer of the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg urged caution.March 6, 2013Previous PagePage 8 of 10Next PageTop StoriesCTBoth standard and ultrahigh resolution modes effective for PCCT CCTAThe study findings will help clinicians optimize protocols for coronary CT angiography using photon-counting detectors.AssociationsACR, MGMA respond to U.S. House, Senate passing 'Big, Beautiful Bill'InterventionalGAE with stem cells effective for knee osteoarthritisUltrasoundCan lung ultrasound predict delirium in elderly COVID-19 patients?MRIAI algorithm identifies patients at risk of sudden cardiac arrest
